# Bug Report ## Problem External links won't open on iOS 18. They do open on iOS 17. I upgraded to iOS 18 and it does not any more. e.g. `<a target="_system" href="https://google.com">Click me</a>` iOS 18 is now on 68% of iOS devices - https://uk.pcmag.com/operating-systems/156441/ios-18-adoption-hits-68-among-iphone-users - so it's rather important this gets fixed. This is described in https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/issues/1511 which apparently was closed with no code change made. (I looked at the repo for cordova-plugin-inappbrowser and did a "git blame" - couldn't find any relevant code changes) ### What is expected to happen? The link should open in an external browser, most likely Safari. ### What does actually happen? Nothing - no message, no log entry (apart from below in xcode) and no crash. A great absence of the link not opening :( ## Information Logs in Xcode when this happens : `BUG IN CLIENT OF UIKIT: The caller of UIApplication.openURL(_:) needs to migrate to the non-deprecated UIApplication.open(_:options:completionHandler:). Force returning false (NO).` ### Command or Code Build an app with the code below on iOS 18 and click the link : `<a target="_system" href="https://google.com">Click me</a>` Or use code like: `cordova.InAppBrowser.open('https://google.com/', '_system');` ### Environment, Platform, Device An iPad or iPhone running iOS 18. ### Version information iOS 18.2 cordova-ios 7.1.0 cordova-plugin-inappbrowser 6.0.0 cordova 12.0.0 ## Checklist - [x] I searched for existing GitHub issues - [x] I updated all Cordova tooling to most recent version - [x] I included all the necessary information above -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
